God the Father
God the Father’s existence is evident through the creation that exists all
around us… including mankind itself. God Himself is everywhere, all of the
time. God knows every thought and word that has been said, is being said now,
and what will be thought or said in the future, by every single human being
that ever has or ever will exist. God’s power is all -encompassing. Having
complete sovereignty, He can do anything that He thinks of or desires to
happen.
The essence of God the Father’s heart is love, and the essence of His character
is holiness. By His very nature, He requires justice, and He makes truthful
judgments. God the Father of lights never changes.
God the Father:
… i s Spirit Jn.4:24, not material. Matter is anything that has weight and takes
up space. God is something wholly other than material!
… i s Creator; All-Powerful, All-Knowing, Ever-Present Gen.1:1, Heb.11:3,
Col.1:16-17
… in the Hebrew language, is called Elohim, translated God (im = plural
ending, but meaning a ‘plurality’ of His great glory )
… in the Hebrew language is called YHWH
Exodus 3:13-15
(YHWH, pronounced Yah-VEH = I Am, The Eternally Self-Existing One)
… has a Character and Nature: Ex.33:13 -34:8, especially 34:6-7 (Holy, Just,
Merciful and Loving…. Good! )
… is Immanent and Transcendent Acts 17:27-28, II Chron.6:18
… is One, yet 3 Persons; the Trinity; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Mt.28:19.
The doctrine of the Trinity states that the LORD is one God in three persons,
and that all three persons are equal in essence. This means that the Father is
declared to be God (John 6:27), the Son is declared to be God (Hebrews 1:8)
